Reason Integration Setup and Configuration
The Panorama T4/T6 Reason Integration has been verified with Reason 6 and higher as well as Reason Essentials and Reason
Intro. The following instructions assumes you have one of these programs installed running on either Windows (Vista, 7, 8,
10 or higher) or Mac OS X (10.7 or higher).
Here are the steps you need to go through to get Reason up and running with your Panorama T4/T6:
Panorama T4/T6 Firmware Update
1.
Connect Panorama T4/T6 to your computer via USB.
2.
With Panorama T4/T6 switched off, press and hold [fader button 9]+[Shift] while switching the unit on. The two buttons are next to
each other and the display will be white when the unit is on.
3.
Locate the dmg file named "T4-T6_Firmware" in the downloaded package this guide
came with, and double-click to open.
4.
Launch the 'nkupdate' application. Once launched, it should look like the image. If the
"Load File" button is grayed out, close nkupdate and launch it again.
5.
Follow the nkupdate on-screen instructions to load and update Panorama T4/T6's
firmware. The firmware location can be selected after clicking the [Load File] button.
6.
On the left side of the file browser window, select Location 'T4-T6_Firmware'.
Next select the file for your device, and click 'Open'.
7.
Click [Program] and finally close the nkupdate app when complete.
8.
Once the update process is complete, switch Panorama T4/T6 off and on again.
Nektar Reason Integration Setup
1.
Make sure Reason is already installed on your computer. If not, please install Reason first and open Reason at least once,
before running the installer for Nektar DAW integration software.
2.
Locate the Panorama_T4_T6_Reason_support installer included with this package and run it.
3.
Make sure your Panorama T4/T6 is plugged in to your computer and switched on.
4.
With your Panorama updated and switched on, launch Reason and go to
Edit/Preferences/Control Surfaces
5.
Click "Auto-detect surfaces"
6.
You should now see two control surfaces populated in the Control Surfaces
window. One is named "Nektar Panorama T-Series" and the other is named
"Nektar Panorama T-Series Mixer"
7.
Make sure both control surfaces are ticked "Use with Reason" with a green
tick indicating they are active.
8.
Close the Preferences menu and in Reason go to Options/Surface Locking
9.
Select "Nektar Panorama T-Series Mixer" in the Surface field
10. Select "Master Section (Master Section)" in the Lock to device field and close
the window.
11. Next, download and install the Nektarine plugin from the 'My Account' tab on
our website, if you want to use Nektarine alongside the Nektar Reason Inte-
gration.
That's it, setup is now complete.
Note: Because Reason's Surface Locking settings are not global but individual
per song, we recommend that you save your default song with the Surface Lock-
ing settings as described above.
When you launch Reason again, to start a new song, you will then not have to
set this setting every time.
